Once again I saw a teenage son show such love and compassion to me today. He came home from school and could see the pain I was in. My big 18 year old tough son stayed by my side for the entire afternoon. His love was apparent through his willingness and offers to get me anything I need, make dinner, and to even volunteered to pick up his sister. He truly is a great a noble spirit, he has such a giant heart and has always worried about me ever since he was a little boy.
When my hubby and I would go on dates years ago, we would always receive a phone call about an hour into our date. We would both say, "I bet it's J'Dee," and sure enough it would be. He would say, "Hi Mom, What cha doing?" He would then asked us "When ya coming home?" We would assure him we would be home soon. His brothers and sisters would tease him about calling mom and dad and making sure that we were okay. But we loved knowing he missed us and that he just wanted to check and make sure we were okay!
Still to this day he is such a gentle giant! He is truly a noble and great spirit that we have been so blessed to have in our family. I know my illness has been extremely stressful on him. I try to downplay everything for his benefit but apparently he tells me he can see the pain in my eyes and he knows when I am suffering. I know he worries way to much more than he needs to and I hope that he can feel peace soon. I am so grateful for this boy who has always demonstrated his love and compassion to us and has showed us how to love perfectly!
